FAN CAST: Squadron Supreme by JoshW

FAN CAST: Squadron Supreme by JoshW

Here are my choices for who I’d like to see in a movie based on a mixture of both the classic Squadron Supreme and the more recent MAX series, Supreme Power! Included in the cast are characters like Hyperion, Power Princess, Nighthawk, Whizzer and more!

JoshW: Ok, so I’ll admit right away that I’m not the biggest fan of these characters. It’s mainly down to peterparker420 ’s urging that I’ve made this cast so feel free to blame him if you don’t like it! (joking buddy!) I have read a handful of comics starring both the classic and modern incarnations of the team and so while making the cast I decided to mix them both up to make what I think would best suit a movie adaptation.

However, I have stuck to the original team line-up, using only a few members from Earth-31916 instead of Earth-712 (Nighthawk and Amphibian for example) who I would personally prefer to see in a movie. And if any of you Squadron Supreme fans notice any characters I’ve forgotten or ones that you‘d like to see, feel free to let me know and I’ll do my best to add them! Thanks for reading! :)

The Classic Team



The Modern Team

Kyle has helped the Squadron Supreme in a number of their battles, and is by far the most reluctant member.

Deanna Russo as Power Princess

Stanley Stewart is the current (but third) individual to wear the "Whizzer" mantle in the Marvel universe.

Josh Duhamel as Dr. Spectrum

Marvel's analogue of DC's Green Lantern. He controls energy from the crystal power source of Hyperion's spaceship.

Emilie de Ravin as Amphibian

It's presumed her mutation was caused by the nano-virus released from Hyperion's space ship when it first came to Earth.

Kevin Durand as Skymax, the Skrullian Skymaster

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


The Squadron Supreme's analogue of DC's Martian Manhunter, as well as that reality's analogue of Earth-616's Super Skrull.

Josh Hartnett as Golden Archer

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Wyatt was the first recruit of the Squadron Supreme. After he was expelled from the group he changed his name to Black Archer.

Carla Gugino as Lady Lark

Hayden Panettiere as Moonglow

She used her powers to make herself look beautiful and glamorous, to hide her unattractive appearance. She joined the Squadron to help overthrow it from within.

Melissa George as Arcanna

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


The origin of Arcanna's magical abilities is still unknown. Arcanna originally worked as a medium before becoming a professional crime fighter who captured criminals for profit.

Bradley Cooper as Blue Eagle

Blue Eagle was a long-time member of the Squadron Supreme, he died during a battle with Nighthawk's Redeemers.

Jake Gyllenhaal as Nuke

Dude this is an amazing cast. I would pay to go see that whether I'm a fan of the characters or not... Much Props JoshW. I hope my Fan Cast can match this...

Very good cast! I read the MAX series when I can and I really enjoy it! Would love to see a movie of this!

antonio - 3/16/2010, 8:05 AM
WOW,BRADLEY COOPER WOULD BE A PERFECT BLUE EAGLE!!!VERY NICELY DONE CASTING
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 3/16/2010, 8:38 AM
VOGEL as [frick]ing TOM THUMB??? WTF! CAPTAIN AMERICA dude!!! ; D

JAKE (SPIDER-MAN) as NUKE? Dunno man these actors seem wasted on these parts?

FILLION is the perfect GUARDIAN dude, you can believe him leading ALPHA FLIGHT!

As you can tell im not much of a SS fan lol!

Well thats only 3 of the picks, love the rest man kudos!

Great stuff, especially like Amphibian man!! ; )
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/16/2010, 9:13 AM
tea: Lol, thanks bud! I know exactly what you mean about Russo, lol...



Blackreverend: Thanks man, I appreciate that! :) I was just over at your GL cast a few minutes ago and it's excellent work dude! The fact that you would go and see this movie based on just the cast I've picked is great to hear, thanks again dude!

TheAnswer: Cheers mate! I've only read some of the Max series but it was a decent title especially when JMS and Gary Frank were on the title! They may not be my favourite characters but I definitely agree that this would make for one hell of a movie!

Antonio: Thanks dude! That was a hard part to cast but Cooper does indeed seem perfect for Blue Eagle! I'd probably like to see him play a bigger character by choice but he'd work really well alongside the other actors in this cast IMO!

LEE: Vogel as [frick]ing CAPTAIN AMERICA??? WTF! TOM THUMB dude!!! :P Seriously though bud, I cannot see Vogel as Cap! In fact, I'd be gutted if he were cast! The guy looks like the pre-serum Steve Rogers, lol! There are slightly better parts that a few of these actors could play but if you look at this as a whole, it would make an awesome ensemble cast! Matthew Fox is still my top pick for Guardian! I think that Fillion is better suited to a character like this! I'm not much of a SS fan either to tell you the truth..! Glad you like my other choices though man, thanks!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 3/16/2010, 9:21 AM
JOSH @ No worries man, its a a great cast!

Though dude, MATTHEW FOX is American and totally wrong for Guardian, thats like casting DANIEL CRAIG for CAPTAIN AMERICA??? GUARDIAN has to be a Canadian actor man! ; D

I'm half joking about VOGEL, i don't mind him as CAP but i would easily take him over HUMAN TORCH boy and GACKLES!

: P

Though i really wanna see HAMMER, McPARTLIN, or SEARS for the CAP role!

P.S. Bro you better duck when SHAMAN comes in, he h8's HARTNETT with a passion lol! ; P

peterparker420 - 3/16/2010, 9:41 AM
JOSH- AWESOME cast! and thanks for that shout out
(I think LOL). You had me at,Nathan Fillion as
Hyperion! But then you got Deanna Russo as Power
Princess (perfect)
and Josh Hartnett as Golden Archer!!(no one would
play Archer better)
and it just keeps getting BETTER!
Bradley Cooper as Blue Eagle..PERFECT!
and the icing on the very good cake is my girlfriend!
the one and only...Hayden Panettiere as Moonglow!!!!
This CAST IS AWESOME!! One of my favorite's !!
THANKS BUD for actually using my idea!!!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/16/2010, 10:23 AM
LEE: I never thought about Guardian that way...I'd love to see Fillion play him though as Fox is now my #1 Colossus choice! Great idea dude, kudos! I'd be more than happy with Hammer but McPartlin is still my top choice for who should play Captain America! I'm cool with Evans playing him though even if you arent, lol!

PETE: Thanks mate, you're too kind! :) I was only kidding up there of course - I appreciate the suggestion as this was a real challenge to put together which is always fun yet also so frustrating I often burst into tears, lol! ;D Take a look above under "Coming Soon..." and you'll see that I'm planning on doing another two of the ideas you suggested! I'm really pleased that you like the cast though bud, thanks again!

@JoshW--GAH! You beat me to it. I've been working on a Supreme Power fan cast for a little while now. Ah well, it's a good cast. Great job

Those are going to be Awesome! bitting my nail in

LEEE777 - 3/16/2010, 11:56 AM
FOX as COLOSSUS, i like that idea!

Hey was it you who cast him as that a while back??

I only ask coz its hard to remember who's done what anymore, especially when theres been so many X-MEN and SPIDEY castings of late!? It's hard to catch up on whos who and whats what lol.

Hey i'm not all anti EVANS, its just i think theres so many better suited for that part. I'm glad though your top choice is McPartlin, cause he would so own that part!

Contrast @ Still do it man, would like to see it!

YO @ PP!! ; D

safecrash - 3/16/2010, 1:42 PM
Pretty good casting.

Hyperion: I like Jake Gyllenhaal for Hyperion. Nathan Fillion should play the Ghost Rider. And Karl Urban should play Scott Lang.

Nighthawk: Chiwetel is a good actor, but Leonard Roberts (D.L. Hawkins from "Heroes") looks more like the character.

Dr. Spectrum: I think Brian Geraghty (Owen Elridge from The Hurt Locker) is better suited for Dr. Spectrum.

Amphibian: My pick for Amphibian is Carey Mulligan. Emilie de Ravin should play Spitfire.

Blue Eagle: Cooper is my pick for Hawkeye. Peter Krause should play Blue Eagle.

Nuke: Since Gyllenhaal is my pick for Hyperion, then I choose Zachary Knighton (Bryce from FlashForward) to play Nuke.

peterparker420 - 3/16/2010, 2:04 PM
LEEE- YO YO!!! ;)

OK I gotta ask who the F*** is Kevin Durand? Alot of
people are useing him in there casts, and I don't know who he is..did I miss something? what movies are he from?

I know alot about movies but I can't place him in any movie I saw..or I havn't seen that movie yet either way???
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/16/2010, 2:32 PM
contrast: Thanks dude! Dont let me put you off posting your own version of this cast! Looking forward to seeing it!

PETE: No worries man! Damn, this cast hasnt had a lot of comments though..! I think it's because not many people are interested in the characters, similar to my Young Avengers cast which only had about 8 comments! You know Kevin Durand! He was Blob in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and has also been in Lost!

LEE: Yeah, I was the first to suggest Fox for that role in my Astonishing X-Men cast! I know exactly what you mean, lol! Hell, I sometimes think I've cast actors in roles I've actually seen in other people's casts! I'm glad you're not totally against Evans - I think he'd do a great job but there's no way I'd rather see him play Cap than McPartlin! He's perfect for the role!

ThalesNJ: Cheers mate! They're some excellent casting choices! Have you considered doing your own Squadron Supreme fan cast because you have some brilliant ideas by the looks of things! Personally, I disagree with a lot of them because I have other roles lined up for those actors (Urban/Ghost Rider, Krause/Scott Lang for example!) but forgetting that for a second, I'd be more than happy to see any of your choices on the big screen just as much as mine! Good stuff dude!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 3/16/2010, 2:37 PM
JOSH @ Yeah its getting confusing whos thought what anymore your right lol! : P

And cool, hey as long as he changed his acting and look completely for CAP, i wouldn't be 100% no, as for McPartlin you is right, well him or HAMMER heh heh! ; P
safecrash
safecrash - 3/16/2010, 2:50 PM
@Josh - Nah, I'm too lazy to do a Fan Cast LOL :P

Besides, my picks are constantly changing, since some castings give me some great ideas (for example Melissa Sagemiller as Invisible Woman).

But I'll start making my Astonishing X-Men and Avengers casting now. I might post one of them next weekend.

Batmanknight - 3/16/2010, 3:09 PM
Alright i dont know who any of these characters are, but good job. The characters look like the actors.

I know its getting hard to find fancasts to do but hopefully you can think of some better known characters to do
peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/16/2010, 3:43 PM
JOSH- LOL! see now I know who he is!..HAHA, I think also
you havn't gotten alot of comments on this one, is
because people have NO IDEA who these characters
are! But hey I still think it was a good idea!
and this is comment #18!
DDD
DDD - 3/16/2010, 3:45 PM
Great cast Josh@

This is another hard and challenging cast to do!

I like Hartnet as Golden Archer!

I love Deanna as Power Princess! Of course I just
love Deanna Russo! I think she would make a fantastic
WW which is what PP is a thinly disguised version of!

I like Nathan for a lot of parts! He's one of my favorite
actors!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/16/2010, 4:10 PM
LEE: I definitely think he could pull it off! And I wouldnt be too upset about him not playing Johnny Storm again because I'd like to see Chris Pine in that role now! And although I'd like to see Hammer as Archangel, he's definitely in my top 5 Captain America casting choices!

1. Ryan McPartlin
2. Chris Evans
3. Jensen Ackles
4. Scott Porter
5. Armie Hammer

ThalesNJ: Lol, good stuff man! Looking forward to them!

BatmanKnight: Cheers dude! A few of these characters were knew to me as well so I had to base some of my casting choices off looks alone! This cast is a little obscure so after my Old Man Logan one I'll be sticking with ones people have actually heard of, lol! I feel like I'm starting to run out of characters though to be honest..! :P

PETE: Yeah, that's more than likely it! I barely know some of them, lol, and I only read Marvel! Still, the comments I have had have been good so as long as you guys (however few of you) like it then that's cool with me! I'm not sure when my next cast will be up now...probably Thursday because Old Man Logan is pretty damned difficult to cast!

DDD: Thanks bud! :) Yeah, this was another tough one especially as I'm not a big fan of the characters, lol! I forgot that you like Russo for Wonder Woman! As Power Princess is basically Marvel's version of that character, it's a wierd coincidence that I cast her in this role! Fillion is a superb actor and I too would like to see him in more roles! He'd make an amazing Nathan Drake (from the Uncharted PS3 games) and that's probably the role I'd most like to see him in!

Nice job once again Josh.

You are getting into some of the lesser known characters in Marvel, that's for sure. Its good though, its like a history lesson.

Gyllenhal for Nuke, that's a good one.
SHHH
SHHH - 3/16/2010, 5:39 PM
Very very good...You gave me a history lesson..

Btw: Check out Earth's Mightiest I dropped a Afro Samurai Fan Cast what do you think???
BLADE44
BLADE44 - 3/16/2010, 6:23 PM
JoshW: love the cast except for HYPERION the modern version of this character is edgey(disconnected from humanity and violent) and very powerful
almost at the Superman power levels. Thats' why I'd
love to see Daniel Craig for that part Im not really feeling Fillion, Craig has that air about him that I
think would be right for the HYPERION persona.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/16/2010, 8:24 PM
DOGS: Thanks bud! :) Huh, I never thought of it like that but you're completely right! I guess that I have been casting a lot of the lesser known, obscure characters as of late and I've actually discovered a fair few of them that I too had never heard of! I'm glad you like the cast though dude, thanks again!

SHHH: Lol, thanks man! As soon as I'm done here I'll head right over there to check it out and I'll be sure to let you know what I thought!

ANIL: Thanks mate - she's quite something huh? ;)



OZY: Thanks dude!

blade40: Cheers man! Well, I'm no expert on Hyperion or any of the Squadron Supreme for that matter but I'll have to agree with you that an actor like Craig would be better suited than Fillion to a character with that sort of demeanor! I guess that Fillion would be better suited to the classic version then?
BLADE44
BLADE44 - 3/17/2010, 9:14 AM
JoshW: If you can see Fillion portraying a character similar to SUPERMAN then yes he'd work.
Classic Hyperion is slightly based off DC's version of Superman
he has atomic vision,he leviates instead of flying,he has superhuman speed & strength,and regenerates when injuried.
He also has one weakness some compound called argonite
it doesnt kill him, but breaks down his resitance to injury so it causes something like a bullet to now be able to penetrate his body and in effect has a good shot at killing him.

Sweet cast! I would love to see this but I wonder if D.C. would have a problem with Marvel making a movie of a team who were created with with D.C. characters in mind?
AshleyWilliams

I can't for your other casts! In particular,Ultimate X-men and Old Man Logan!

blade40: Thanks for the info bud! I'll have to check some more of these stories out because from what you're saying, they sound pretty interesting!

rsalas: Thanks dude! I cant imagine DC would be too happy but I dont think that there would be anything they could do! After all, they have different names and the fact that they're similar would piss them off but there's no copyright infringement that I could imagine!

NightAvenger4: Thanks man! :) I havent started my Ultimate X-Men cast yet but I've literally just finished my Old Man Logan cast! Expect to see it tomorrow morning!
